Leicester Wedding Photographer Ian Bursill – Natural, Emotive & Captivating Wedding Photojournalism.
RSS
Hello and welcome to my blog site.
I am a documentary wedding photographer based in Loughborough, Leicestershire and a fully active member of the international organisation the WPJA - Wedding Photojournalist Association. I shoot weddings in a documentary style with no intervention or intrusion (apart from a few formals if requested) enabling my clients and their guests to get on enjoy their day without worrying about the photography taking over.
I shoot digitally, working with professional Nikon D3 cameras and lenses. 99% of my images are captured without the use of a flash, preferring to utilise the beauty of natural light. This also enables me to remain very unobtrusive at weddings.
Images from my final wedding of 2009 – David and Helen – which was held on New Year’s Eve at Rothley Court in Leicestershire. Luckily the wedding took place before the recent cold snap & snow that we have all been subjected to here in the UK, and the low winter light on the day was beautiful. A selection of images from the day are below as per usual…
It was back yet again to Sutton Bonington Hall on the 16th October for the wedding of Adam & Astrid. A few pics from the day follow to narrate the day. If you are wondering about the log cutting image, that is a German tradition called “Das Sägen”. After the ceremony, the bride and groom face their first challenge as a couple. They must saw through a heavy log on two sawhorses, with a whipsaw. This requires their working together, as the saw only cuts when pulled in either direction. It symbolises the couple’s ability to solve problems together.
19th September saw me over in Lincolnshire for the wedding of Simone & Anna at St Johns in Washingborough and afterwards at The Petwood Hotel in Woodhall Spa, famous as the wartime base for the Dambusters Squadron. The day saw lots of cats, a Catholic & C of E priest jointly taking the ceremony and loads of beautiful low September sunlight. A selection of faves follows…
